>>35831760Too bad they panicked and gave Charizard two freaking (mega)Evolutions and went full Kanto-circlejerk for the next 5 years when Gen 5 wasn't selling as much as they had hoped.
Okay, one of those 5 years was spent jerking off Hoenn too, but even in OR/AS half of the spotlighted new megas were from Kanto.
>>35831864Roxie is Kino though, and she represents B2/W2 well, a seamless blend of new and nostalgia, the way Pokémon should be. I love how Gen 5 gave fans a pretty definitive experience of Pokémon. One game showing a completely new take on the series, and then the second game mixing it with the past Gen 5 games to create the pinnicle experience of what Pokémon and Gen 5 could be.
Much better than the traditional "Just release an updated version that doesn't add to the series, but instead replaces the last games with something mildly better."
